Liz continued to push for greater investment from the government department and contended that P.R.O.B.E.'s two staff were "doing the work of twenty". (HOMEVID: The Zero Imperative) The new Minister responsible — Brian Rutherford, who replaced "Sir Richard" — clearly didn't agree, noting that the Bureau didn't get called out very often. While Haggard would certainly be more sympathetic to P.R.O.B.E. than her predecessor, Liz remained the only member of staff after Haggard's appointment.

  • Liz continued to push for greater investment from the government department and contended that P.R.O.B.E.'s two staff were "doing the work of twenty". (HOMEVID: The Zero Imperative) The new Minister responsible — Brian Rutherford, who replaced "Sir Richard" — clearly didn't agree, noting that the Bureau didn't get called out very often. In fact, his first act was to move Bayliss to another department without Liz's knowledge. He then threatened to close the operation down altogether. Only the fact that he needed the approval of Haggard prevented him from doing so. D.I. Burke, after working on a case with Dr Shaw, applied unsuccessfully for a transfer to P.R.O.B.E. (HOMEVID: The Devil of Winterborne) The organisation received as little support from the police force as it did from the department, as shown by Burke's initial scepticism, and also by the "practical joke" instigated by a policeman which sent Dr Shaw to investigate a poltergeist for two weeks. After Rutherford's kidnap by Alfred Emerson, and the revelation of his past dealings with Emerson's creator Julius Quilter, he quit his position and was ultimately replaced by Haggard herself. (HOMEVID: Unnatural Selection) While Haggard would certainly be more sympathetic to P.R.O.B.E. than her predecessor, Liz remained the only member of staff after Haggard's appointment. In 2015, P.R.O.B.E. was still in operation and ordered to carry out a "government authorised execution". (HOMEVID: When to Die)
